I want my computer to run an open-source BIOS/UEFI but the set of systems supported by projects like Libreboot is unfortunately rather limited.

Why is it so limmitted? Whats the bottleneck?

Each board has to be added manually, I presume they all have intricacies around initialising hardware and it seems most of that is kept in binary blobs and I don't really understand I just wish it was like openwrt and worked anywhere
